Asked Questions:

1. Opinions on robots?
Tricky... I always felt that robots were taking away a certain part of our own responsability. For example, I'm not very fond of robots driving cars : it feels that it is taking a certain awarness out of the responsability of driving.
But then again, it is an emerging reality that they are everywhere.
If it comes to the question of "do they have a consciousness", then... I don't know. I wouldn't harm a robot... and hope to treat it with respect. But what is a consciousness, anyway ?

2. Which class do you generally pick, knight, mage, or thief?
For a first runthrough, I pick up thief/rogue. It's easier to open chests and doors. Afterwards, when I know how the game runs, and what kind of logic it needs, I change to whatever the game is more into.

3. How about spooky stuff?
My opinion on spooky stuff ? I don't really know. I have witnessed things I'm not sure about, but I don't try to fiddle with it.
I like spooky video games, and films, though :)

4. Do you have an original character? If not, who's your favorite character? (and tell me a bit about your oc if you have one owo)
Are Poppy and Kosh OC's ?
They are both a certain aspect of my personnality : Poppy, the redhead (I would of loved being a redhead), is quite silent, brainy, and contemplative ; Kosh, her best friend, is more a curious, mischievious and outgoing person. As they are both very shy, they don't tend to talk to others much, preferring staying in their own little world, where they are not put down.
They just like to be generally happy.
Kosh likes to tease Poppy a lot, and Poppy goes with it because she knows there is not nastiness behind it, and that if ever she needs anything, Kosh is only one ear far. She reminds Kosh, though, sometimes, what is socially acceptable, or not.

5. What kind of music do you like?
I'm very eclectic. I don't really go for a group, or one kind in particular : it just needs soul, a certain beat (heartbeats style is something I like much) and a story to tell. I listen to music with my eyes, if I can say so. Sounds evoque pictures in my head. If the story it tells is good, then I keep it, rap, rock, indie, techno all together.
I have a particular keen on Radiohead, though.

6. Are you cruising for a bruising??
A what ?

7. Do you have a crush on anyone? '///'
Well, my So and I are together since fifteen years, now. So I kind of think we like each other ;)

8. Favorite video games?
Ooooh... Mass Effect trilogy, Majora Mask (and Zelda all together), Okami, Dragon Age, Stalker, Baten Kaitos... And I'm sure I'm forgetting some, here.

9. Introvert or extrovert?
Defo introvert. Because I'm very shy, I get overexcited in company. And it looks like I'm an extrovert. There's no worse extrovert than an introvert pushed in his last foxhole.
But the truth is, I can't deal very well with company, and I'd rather be by myself, or in a one-to-one relation, than in a large group.

10. For art, what is your preferred style to draw and what styles do you like to see in other art?
Well, I love to draw faces and ladies, for whatever reason. But because I'm very introverted, it's difficult to put out what I have in mind without showing too much, or not enough.
What I love about others is the soul inside it. It doesn't need to be technically perfect, or even approaching. It's the story behind it that catches my attention.

11. How often do you go out, and who with?
Once every two months, to see my home girls. Otherwise, only for work, groceries, and random technical errands.

12. What do you typically wear?
Jeans. Large jumpers. Tight t-shirt. Socks. Stripped socks. Plenty of stripped socks. Can't get enough of stripped socks. Never.

13. Whats the last movie you watched?
Stardust. One of the best recent film I have seen, if not the best. For once, it was coherent, with action, humour, brilliant acting, darkness, magic, love, adventures... and reality.


My Questions:

1. What are your ten favourite stories (books, films, comics...)?
2. If you would be able to talk to yourself when you were ten, what advice would you give yourself ?
3. What is the most beautiful memory you have, if it's not too personnal ?
4. How would you describe your own inner world ?
5. If you were one of the rare last survivors on Earth after an epidemic illness (and with the idea that the nuclear plants don't explose, and that someone had the common sense to shut down the water pumps and electricity plants), what would you do ?
6. Film or serial ?
7. What is your quest ?
8. Anything involving coconuts ?
9. Introvert or extrovert?
10. Do you come around here often ?
11. Do you have a sacred number ?
12. Do you have synesthesia and how does it come up for you?
13. Whats the last movie you watched?

Yeah, we all hate chains, don't we ? Well, feel free not to answer, though ;) I have nothing to request from anybody ;)

Good luck you guys! Llama Emoji-22 (Waving) [V1]

Paris events

1 min read
Hello to all,

Just because I recieved a lot of mails, notes, and notifications a bit from everywhere to all of my social networks : yes, we are safe at home.
Living at 800kms from Paris may help a tad.
But not everybody knows where I'm located so I do understand the concern. And appreciate it.

Thank you all for the messages.

Still praying for some friends who haven't given any news yet, but I'm sure they are all right. If not, I'm sure I would of heard from it before. I hope.

It feels like every of my journal entries are about how little I am on the Internet and how much I apologise... And it doesn't just feels like it, it's true XD
Sorry guys (and lasses), since this Summer, I needed a lot of time for myself to put things back into perspective.
I have finished my project for a children's book and need now to send it all to editors. As I'm very shy and fear much rejection, it just blocks me. I know I WILL have reject letters, and am prepared to it. But I fear even most judgement. It's kind of weird.
So, instead of just pulling my socks up and get doing it, I fell in a "Fallout-New Vegas" trap. It's been a whole month, now.
I've been doing a few figurines of Vault Boy (need to post them at one point), a few aquarelles, too, but basically, I have been doing nothing else than playing on the computer (and usual living), and avoiding all social networks.
Typical me : when in fear, I just become a bear and refuge myself in something where I can't be talked to. Even my family and friends haven't heard me much since August !

Well, I'll have to snap out of this, get in gear, and start working on the book project, putting it into place and bloody sending it !

In the meantime, art block as it is : finishing the book just left me numb. I feel empty, with nothing to give, no new project to get euphorical about. It's the first time I finnish a project and I'm awkward to go through the next step.
It WILL change, and I WILL get back to things, I just need my own time alone to get there : as I hate being alone after a while, I get bored of my virtual reality and, filled up with plenty of new pictures in my head, start creating again.
That's how I work.

Too, I ordered Father Christmas a To-Be-Assembled Dollhouse Kit. I'm starting to get excited about it and I can't wait for Christmas. I'm already wondering what size and shape it will be, what style, how will I manage to decorate it from A to Z... I have a lot of material to work with, in order to shape everything (just missing the carpets but i'm sure i will find something in due time) and I just know that I will inondate DA with pictures of it through the process.

So, that means I won't be around for a little while, still. I'm intending to finnish Fallout New-Vegas and then play Fallout 1 and 2. If you don't know anything about it, just know that each game is around 200 hours of gameplay. For the least.
Then I'll be in the Christmas rush, then end of year seasonnal rejoices...
Then I'll be able to settle down again in sweet soft Winter, for more artsy stuff.

Hope you are all ok, artsy, and generally feeling good.

Hugs to all of you ! (Virtual ones, as everybody knows by now I hate being physically touched by anybody...)
